@Vaddeani I'm confused about the steps to reproduce and attached error message. The export pipeline should only run when you Commit the solution. It appears there is something wrong with your setup. Did you install using the coe-cli (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/coe/cli/alm/overview) or did you follow the steps in (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/coe/setup-almacceleratorpowerplatform)? If the latter I would double check that you followed these steps correctly https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/coe/setup-almacceleratorpowerplatform#create-export-pipeline-variables-optional and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/coe/setup-almacceleratorpowerplatform#create-the-solution-build-and-deployment-pipelines.

A pull request should never trigger the export pipeline.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the Response. We have installed the ALM accelerator using manual setup process provided by Microsoft, not the coe-cli When I try to click the Deploy Solution button from AA4PP APP, I am getting an error as below, The pipeline is not valid. Job export_solution_to_git: Step PowerPlatformPublishCustomizations input PowerPlatformSPN references service connection $(ServiceConnection) which could not be found. The service connection does not exist or has not been authorized for use. For authorization details, refer to https://aka.ms/yamlauthz. Job export_solution_to_git: Step PowerPlatformExportSolution1 input PowerPlatformSPN references service connection $(ServiceConnection) which could not be found. The service connection does not exist or has not been authorized for use. For authorization details, refer to https://aka.ms/yamlauthz."

According to the process, when I click on deploy solution AA4PP app it should trigger the deploy-validation-(Solution Name) pipeline, Instead it triggers export-solution-git pipeline not sure how?. As per the above error it is showing that pipeline is not valid and service connection doesn't exist, but I have configured the connections properly according to the document. Please let me know if I am missing any configurations. Also we observe that the pipeline trigger it shows some settings need attention always. Please Clarify.

Thanks, Anil kumar

@Vaddeani thanks for the details. It sounds like you may have accidentally associated the export pipeline with the branch policy instead of the deploy-validation-**** pipeline. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/coe/setup-almacceleratorpowerplatform#setting-branch-policies-for-pull-request-validation

The screenshot there is misleading as it shows the prod pipeline instead of the validation pipeline. Will need to update that screenshot

Service connection is taking as Environment URL
